5.00This is a well organized, enjoyable tour. It starts at the bus terminal just north of the train station. The company signage was good, so it was easy to find. The first part of the tour was a drive around town. The tour guide had a lot of fun, memorable information about Zurich. We then headed south along the lake, and crossed the lake, west to east. The barge that carried our bus across the lake had an upper deck that provided great views of the alps and the city. Finally, we took a cable car up the mountain to an overlook. There was a nice little diner up there, so we had time to grab a bite to eat. That’s a lot to see in an afternoon, so it was well worth the trip. The bus was clean and comfortable as well.
Good option to locate and know
